XP is great. Vista, not so great.... hopefully the next update will be better.
I'd never consider buying a mac.

I still think XP Pro is safer and much more flexible.

That may also be because I am a couple of SP's behind. But the new ITunes worked great on my laptop with Vista.
vista out of box is more secure then any fully patched OS before.Quote:

linux is not initially more secure..you need to lock down ports and SUDO rights etcQuote:

I have found over the years that it's not a matter of "if" WIN will crash. But more a matter of "when" WIN will crash. Sooner or later all versions will crash. Just my observations since way back to WIN95.. Something always happens and you'll either have to repair it or reinstall. For me I do a full HD format and clean install about every two or three months. Nothing can stop every virus. Some folks have viruses and dont even know it. Clean reboot every so often is just what I do to maintain my comp. May seem usless to some but I dont mind doing it.:hide:
that is a very good habit to do...i will agree with windows crashing a good amount..but half of the reason for that is the universality of the OS ..to be completely open and flexible with any hardware..and on top of that..most BSOD or crash is directly related to 3rd party drivers..since Microsoft also lets hardware vendors create and distribute their own drivers..mac osX doesnt..but l/unix does..my girlfriend has a mac..and its a solid machine..it has the new intel framework and runs really fast..but maintenance is sooo hard on osx since everything is hidden away..and now the osx was soo corrupt that is was freezing quite a bit and had to install leopard..so far so good. but give me Windows for give me death...i can deal with linux/unix (i need to for my job) but id rather run W server 08Quote:
